Cancer Immunotherapy is a very dynamic technological field and the global market is
expected to grow and reach US$ 126.9 billion by 2026, with a CAGR of 9.6% from 2019 to
2026 (Grand View Research). With an increasing number of people with cancer (17 million of
new cases of cancer worldwide) and the need of new treatments, the immunotherapy
domain sees the arrival of numerous startups every year. In this highly diverse and rapidly
changing ecosystem, it is crucial to identify new players and monitor their activities to
determine opportunities, threats, potential partnerships and collaborations. Because of
their small size and technological diversity, these young companies are hard to identify by
conventional approaches (web searches, workshops etc.). In this report, Knowmade has
therefore investigated Onco-Immunotherapy-related patents in order to identify startups
through their patent filings. More than 110 startups incorporated between 2010 and 2019
were thus identified, and for over 50 of them, the report describes their main activity,
products, patents, and key people among their staff. This study reveals that Cell Adoptive
Transfer (e.g. CAR-T cell) is by far the market explored the most by startups working in the
field of immunotherapy in oncology. Immune checkpoint inhibitor/modulator, bispecific
antibody and vaccine are also markets of interest for some startups identified.
Why use patents to identify startups?
Detecting hidden companies – Looking at patent documents makes it possible to identify
companies that do not communicate much or even at all. It is a good way to detect
companies that could not be found using more conventional methods (e.g. trade fairs,
conferences, web searches, etc.).
Assessing the technology – Technology is one of the keys to a startup’s success and being
able to understand and assess it is highly valuable. The specification of a patent document
includes a lot of technical information that can be used to determine the advantages
brought by new inventions. The patent claims can also be used to determine the protection
the applicant is asking for, and therefore where its interest resides.
Identifying the key people – The success of a startup is strongly linked to the team that
composes it. It is therefore important to know the founders and inventors to assess the odds
of its success. Patents enable the identification of inventors inside the companies. These
inventors are technical experts who have laid the foundation of the technology the startup is
developing. Describing the background of key people can help in understanding the startup
project, and their history can reveal the extent of the know-how they have accumulated.
